RELATIVES NOTIFIED.

They Take the Bodies-TerribIe Grief of
Spies Family.
CHICAGO, November 1l.-Letters were
written this morning, by order of the
Sheriff, to the relatives of the doomed
men, notifying them that they could take
possession of the bodies after the hanging
and make arrangements for the funerals.
The letters were delivered in person by
Deputy johnson, who was visibly affected
by his sad duty.
Mrs. Spies, Augusts mother, lives at
l5i Bryson street. When the deputy ar
rived he was at first refused sdmittance
because of the impression that he was a
reporter. He went around to the back
door aGd there most affecting scene met
his gaze. Mrs. Spies sat at the table wall
ing as if her heart would break. The
lamentations of the household could be
heard across the street. The deputy
handed the letter to Mrs Spies sister and
left.
Mrs Engel keeps little toy and notion
store at 2S6 Milwaukee avenue. Papers
were up in the windows, but the door WAS
not locked. Entering, the deputy con-
fronted Mrs. Eugel. She vas calm, pas
Sionless and pale. There was no excite
ment there, but an or2inious calm pervaded
everything. Last night large crowd
gathered around Engel's place, but it YVES
not demonstrative This morning there
was another mob, which stared at the win
dows and then dispersed.
Deputy johnson found Fischer's house
locked, silent aud deserted. This was in a
German neighborhood, at No. Desu
street, where tew Euglish.speaking people
could be found. The letter was left with
a neighhor.
Mrs. Parsons lives at No. 7S7 Milwaukee
avenue, but she was not at home, being
down at the scene of the excitement.
Deputy johnson says that the grief dis
played by the Spies family ,s something
terrible to contemplate, but that the rela-
tives of the other men are not as visibly
affected.

Amid all the turmoil the people have never

Lines of Suffering.
CHICAGO, November 1l.-The rsvages OF
heart anguish unremitting, and sleepless
nights were apparent on the faces of Nina
Van Zsndt and her mother when they ap-
peared to-day. Strange to say, the elder
seemed the deeper sufferer. For while
Nina was plainly in deep emotion. Her
mother wore countenance Of unutterable
and indescribable woe. They stepped
into the cab and instructed the
driver to convey them to the county jail.
The driver whipped up his horse and the
cab speeded southwark toward the lsil.
When the cab reached the line of police
men which blocked the avenue leading to
the county Jail it was stopped. The cab
man then turned about, and Nina, breaking
into tears, fell upon her mothers shoul-
ders. In this attitude they were driven
homeward.

She was not agitated in the least, and
took the refusal in a very matter OF fact
way.
At1l:25 the Sheriff commenced reading
the death warrant to Spies, who list'ned
without sayings word. Three minutes
later the Sheriff shook hands with him and
bede him goodbye. Spies was strapped
while the warrant was being read to
Fischer. While the shroud was being put
ON Spies he looked pale and baggard, and
asked to have the strap lOosened, which
was done.
The warrant was then read to Engel
and Parsons, and in q few moments all
were in their shroads, standing at the
grated door, and saying sdieux to friends
in the visitors cage.

in-law, John A. Patterson, resides out on the

objected to his visiting the house. After they
had quarreled for some time, Berry went to the
yard and procured brick with which to drive
the old man from the house. When be came
into the kitchen Patterson picked up butcher
knife lying on the table and warned him to keep
back. Berry threw the brick at him without
hitting him, and then attacked him with his
fists. Patterson began to the knife, and in
fcted several very dangerous cuts on Berry's
head. He then left the house, and was arrested
shortly afterward by detective Martin Haley, on

Clews That May Lead to the Arrest of Two
Mothers Suspected of Killing Their Babes.

The murdered babe found in the water-works
fune Sunday morning is still at Ripley &
Hedges morgue. where it will be left until tie
police complete their investigation Of the case.
Coroner Wagner made his return in the case
yesterday, and finds that the babe was muir
dered, and was not less than two weeks old when
the crime was committed. Captain Campbell
and Sergeant Hagerdorn have been detailed to
ferret out the crime. They have clew that
they think will lead to the arrest of the inhu-
man mother, and perhaps the father of the
child. Six weeks ago a newborn babe was
found in Pleasant run. The officers suspect
two young women VINO reside in the northern
part of the city They are known to have given
birth to children, neither of which is living now,
so far as known. If the officers are not on the
wrong track their clew will also lead to the ar
rest OF prominent merchant of the citv
